About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, don't be a jerk.

ABOUT ME

Queer, feminist, activist.

I like cheese.

I am a very social person and since I have travelled by myself I find that being a social person has it's advantages when you want someone to talk to.

When travelling I often find myself in political conversations, especially ones where I get to learn about what the country I'm travelling is like.

I am always wanting to learn new things,and about new cultures.

Especially more about the German culture, I have had some interesting experiences with it while travelling.

I love performance whether it be playing a gig, acting in a show, or presenting interactive history to school-kids.

I believe I am a very honest and open person. I feel there is no reason to lie or be cruel to people as it serves no purpose except to alienate you from the rest of humanity.

I am also a vegetarian. Ask me how!

PHILOSOPHY

"If you look to the heavens, and folow your star....you'll be outdone by someone who actually worked hard to get where they are."

"People are more important than things"

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots. To name a few movies, Shawshank Redemption, Monty Python's Holy Grail and Life of Brian, Clockwork Orange, The Crow, Reservoir Dogs, Snatch, Shine, Edward Scissorhands and other Tim Burton works, Johhny Depp movies (because they are all so damn good), Josie and The Pussycats plus many more.

Music, I like a lot of stuff but I'm not really into bubblegum pop (though I like to snigger at the lyrics). I hate using the term 'eclectic' because I'm not. Music has to have a message, make me feel, or make me dance.

Currently listening to Sleater-Kinney, MEN, Against Me!

Books. ALOT!! Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Jasper Fforde, Barbara Hambly, Non-Fiction, Kerry Greenwood (crime), Garth Nix, Phillip K., Margaret Atwood, I could continue but it would take too long.
